Jonathan Kuminga joined the Minnesota Timberwolves with many questions about how he would fare. He often found himself in Steve Kerr’s doghouse with the Golden State Warriors. He’s been an inconsistent outside shooter, and while his defense can look good, Kuminga didn’t consistently bring it on that side.
Granted, it's only 10 games, but things couldn’t have gone smoother for Kuminga with his new club. The honeymoon phase is still going on with the fanbase, who desperately wanted the Wolves to add a starting power forward for much of the offseason.
That became the 24-year-old Kuminga. Minnesota’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night was another example of him showcasing his value to the team.
